Maple Grove's versatile junior

The Jordyn Lamker file

  • Name: Jordyn Lamker
  • School: Maple Grove
  • Class: Junior
  • Honors: Breakdown Top 75 juniors
  • Coach comment: "Jordyn is one of the most versatile players around. She can be a back to the basket post, a stretch four, and there are times she can bring the ball up the floor. Jordyn set the single season scoring record last season as a sophomore and led the team in rebounding and three-point shooting percentage. She is a very tough match up for opposing defenders because of her versatility. Jordyn brings so much energy, communication, and leadership to the gym every day. There are few players who I have coached throughout my career that want to compete at everything they do more than Jordyn. She is a Division I talent and she has proved that through her accomplishments at the high school level and competing at a high level throughout her AAU career." — Maple Grove coach Mark Cook

Q and A

Give me a short scouting report on yourself as a player. What are your strengths?

  • I'm a very versatile player that's able to play any position. I have size and length as well as a strong body. I'm never the fastest or the biggest but I'll always work the hardest.

Can you tell us one unusual thing about yourself that others may not know?

  • I have so many nicknames! my teammates call me Jordo, Lammey, Lammo. My favorites are Jordy and Jo.

What's the best part of playing high school basketball and why?

  • The best part about high school basketball is the level of competitiveness. there is so much at stake and everybody wants to win so desperately. the big games are the most fun to play in.

Tell me about the outlook for your team this year. What are the strengths of your team?

  • We have a lot of talent returning to our team as well as younger players who have made great progress in the off-season. We all have a genuine bond and it really shows on the court. we are all so unselfish with the ball and take pride in our defense.

What other activities are you involved in at the high school level?

  • I play varsity volleyball and varsity golf for Maple Grove.

What type of training do you do in the offseason?

  • I participate in morning workouts for the high school as well as playing AAU basketball for North Tartan.
